[lpil/sonic-pi-tool](https://github.com/lpil/sonic-pi-tool) - written in Rust, also supports viewing logs.

Thanks to Sam Aaron for creating Sonic Pi. Official command line support is planned for Sonic Pi 3.0.

For those interested, the code weighs in at around 120 lines and is stupid simple. Take a look.
